Ingredients

• 1/4 cup natural creamy almond butter slightly heated
• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 cups quick oats gluten free as needed
• 3/4 cup rolled oats gluten free as needed

Optional Add-Ins (no more than 1/2 cup):

• ground flax seed or chia seeds
• chopped pecans

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix together heated nut butter and honey until smooth.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients until well combined. Add optional add-ins, if desired.
3. Wet hands slightly and form dough tightly into 1" - 1.5" balls. If the dough doesn't stick together add 1/2 tablespoon water (or melted coconut oil) at a time until dough comes together or place dough in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to forming dough balls so it's easier to handle.
4. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.
